Application filed March 25, 1901. Serial No. 52,771. (No model.) t

To @ZZ whom t may concern,.-

Be it known that I, JOHN O. WELLER, a citizen ot' the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Windows; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and eX- act description of the invention,` suchas will enable others skilled in the art to which it ap-` pertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to a novel construction in a window wherein the sashes and frames are made principally of sheet metal, the object being to produce a window which will be re, wind, and weather proof and in which the sashes can be easily operated; and it consists in the features of construction and combinati ons of parts hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, illustrating my invention, Figure 1 is an inside elevation, partly in section, of a window made in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical section on line 2 2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is an enlarged `horizontal section on line 3 3 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a partial section on line 44 of Fig. 3.

My windew consists of the frame 1, pro-V vided with grooves 2 and 3,in which the sashes 4 and move, the latter being counterbalanced by the sash-weights 6 in the usual manner. Said sashes 4 and 5 comprise the frames 7, which are narrower than the opening in said frame 1 and are horizontally pivotally mounted on members 8, which are adapted to iill the space between the lateral edges of said frames 7 andthe bottoms of said grooves 2 and 3. -The lateral edges ot'said sash-` nel-shaped, having the channel turned toward said frame 1, and are provided with o lateral projecting fianges 11, which are adaptl2O, which are secured to said frame 1. -slides are provided with a lifting-notch 21 ed to cover the joint between said frames 7 and members 8, said flanges being out away above and below the middle portion of said sash on opposite sides in order to permit the sash to be swung on the pivots 12 to assumo a position as indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 2. Said frames 7 are secured in their vertical positions by means of the latches 13, compris'- ing arms which are pivotally mounted on the inner sides of said frames 'Zand engage hooks on the adjacent flanges 11 of the members 8. Said members 8 are thickened where the pivots 12 pass through the same by means of the block 14, which is tirmly riveted to said members 8. The upper end of said block 14 is provided with a recess 15 and a vertical opening 16, in and through which the weight-cord 17 is secured.

In order to be able to get at the balanceweights 6, openings 18 are provided in the frame 1 in the bottom of said grooves 2 and 3, which are adapt-ed to be closed by means of the slides 19. Said slides 19 are fitted to the contour of the innersurtace of the frame 1 and are held in place by means of the guides Said near their lower ends.

Theguide-grooves 2 and 3 are partly formed by the `frame 1 and partly by removable spring-stops 22 and 23. Said stops are U- shaped in cross-section, their free edges being adapted to enter vertical grooves in said frame 1. They are adapted to be held in place by means of the screws 24, thickeningblocks 25 being provided, riveted to said frame l, into which said screws are adapted to be threaded- The groove in which said stop 22 is placed is narrower than the outer part of said stop, so that the outer part of said stop overlaps the joints at the edge of said groove, thus giving a finished appearance to the outer joint and at the same time preventing the edge of said member 8 from entering the inner joint. Said stop or parting-strip 23 has parallel sides, the member 8 being prevented from entering the joint by bearing on said framel at its opposite edge. Said members 8 22 23 and the part of the frame 1 forming the other wall of the groove 2 are rela-tively so IOO metal which I take advantageofto keep said; parts always pressing against each otherf The degree of lateral movement imparted to said members at any time isnecessarlyso slight as to be incapable of illustration. A

vertical projecting flange 27 is formed in the center of .the lateral andside edges of said frame l, which is adapted to hold said frame' in the wall into which itis built and'at the same time form a break in the joint between Said frame and, Wall- The meetinsfrails of said sashes 4. and 5 are provided `with horizonlal Alalliges 28 on their upper and lower edges, respectively,adapted to close the spaceV between said sashes and said partin g-stri p 22. Said lower sash 5 is provided .with an out.- wardly-projeoting horizontal flange 29onits lower edge, adapted to iit closelytO the sill 30 of said frame l when said sash is in its normal Closed position in order to make the joint between said sash and sill Weatherproof.

lolaioi aemy iaventiool 1.-y lo a Window1 the oombiiiation with a frame provided with guide-grooves bordered. byrielflills .Stops of shoes movable in Said grooves, and sashes mounted on said shoes, said yielding stops being adapted normally to press against said shoes to form weatherproof .ioiota 2, In a window, the combination with -a frame provided with grooves having yielding eide Walle adapted to normally contract said grooves in Width at their mouths, of saSlieS mov-able in said guide-grooves, said sashes bolos atl aptedto force said yielding Walle outwardiy to form weatherproof joints between said frame and said sashes.

3. In a Window, the combination with a frame and sashes movable therein, of yielding guide-strips on said frame engaging saidk sashes and guiding same, said guideflstrips being adapted to normally press against said sashes to form weather-tight joinvtsl'between 5o aliy mounted on said shoes, and means for `locking'said sashes rigid With said shoes, of

yielding-strips bordering said guide-grooves and normally pressing against the sides of Vsaid shoes to form weather-tight joints, and

packing between said shoes and said sashes -to form weather-tight joints.

5. In a window, the combination with a Vframe provided with guide-grooves, of shoes movableinsaid guide-grooves, sashes mounted on said shoes, said sashes and shoes being capable of lateral.movementwithrelation to eaoh other, and a `packing of yielding material interposed between saidsashes andsaid shoes for fforcingthe latter laterallyoutward with-relation to said sashes, thereby forcing said shoesinto said guide-grooves.

6. In a Window, the combination with a frame provided with guide-grooves, .of shoes movable in said guide-grooveasashes pivotally mounted on said shoes, said sashes and shoes beinglaterally movable with relation toeach other, and a packing of yielding material interposed between said sashes andfsaid shoes for forcing the latterlaterally outward with relation to said sashes, thereby forcing said shoes into saidgu-ide-grooves.

`7. In a window, lthe combination with a frame provided with guideagrooveaof shoes movable in said guide-grooves, sashespivotaliy mounted on said shoes, saidl saslles and Shoes being laterally movable with :relation to each other, and. a packing ofvyielding material carried by said sashes and engagingsaid shOes toform a weather-tight joint between the-same, said packing being adapted to, force said'shoes laterally outward with relation to said sashes and into-said grooves.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

JOHN C. WELLER.
